Single Step Synthesis of Non-symmetric Azoarenes Using Buchwald-Hartwig Amination.

Aromatic azo compounds stand as a highly sought-after class of substances owing to their extensive array of applications across various fields. Despite their significance, their synthesis often presents challenges, requiring either multistep reactions or being restricted to specific substrate types. In this study, we are showing the universality and mechanistic aspects of a one-step approach for synthesis of nonsymmetrical azoarenes via the Buchwald-Hartwig amination reaction of (pseudo)haloaromatics with arylhydrazines, conducted in the presence of atmospheric oxygen.

Immobilization of Trifluoromethyl-Substituted Pyridine-Oxazoline Ligand and Its Application in Asymmetric Continuous Flow Synthesis of Benzosultams.

This study presents an improved synthetic route to ligand ()-4-(-butyl)-2-(5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl)-4,5-dihydrooxazole and its application as a highly active and enantioselective catalyst in the addition of arylboronic acids to cyclic -sulfonylketimines. Immobilization of such a ligand was achieved using a commercially available starting material and a PS-PEG TentaGel S NH support, resulting in a stable heterogeneous catalyst. Although the anchored catalyst exhibited a slight reduction in enantioselectivity and a 4-fold decrease in reaction rate, it displayed remarkable stability, enabling 10 consecutive reaction cycles.

Recent advances in palladium-catalysed asymmetric 1,4-additions of arylboronic acids to conjugated enones and chromones.

The transition metal (palladium)-catalysed asymmetric 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids to conjugated enones belong to the most important and emerging strategies for the construction of C-C bonds in an asymmetric fashion. This review covers known catalytic systems used for this transformation. For clarity, we are using the type of ligand as a sorting criterion.
